Hi Davide, untested, but I think the following could work: - Rename the module - Create a module that renames the XML-id's owned by the old module and set the new module state to 'to upgrade'. - Recreate the old module without any logic or data, depending on the migration module. - Run update --all first to reload the list of modules. Run --update all again to upgrade the new module. - Uninstall the old module and the migration module manually. It would probably be a 10 line patch to support module renames in the base module, using something like an 'oldname' directive in the manifest file.
